Directions

Step 1

To make the dough, add all your ingredients into a bowl, except the butter

Step 2

Mix with a standing mixer with the dough hook on or by hand with a wooden spoon. Mix all the ingredients together until a dough forms from the hot oil and rest on kitchen paper towel to drain excess oil. If you wish you could use just boiled cooked noodles instead

Step 3

Once the dough forms, add in the butter and knead for about 6-8 minutes, until the butter is fully incorporated. 

Step 4

Place the dough into a greased bowl, cover and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size. it should take 1-2 hours. 

 

Step 5

Once it has risen, cut the dough into 20g pieces.

 

Step 6

Roll each piece of dough into a ball, then dip into the melted butter, then roll into the cinnamon sugar 

Step 7

Add this into your greased tin, each of my large muffins had 6 dough balls. (If you are using a regular sized muffin tin or any other baking dish, you should probably make smaller dough balls and not add as many as I did into the large muffin tin.)

Step 8

Cover the monkey bread and leave to rise again for about 40-60 minutes. 

Step 9

Bake them at 180c for about 25 minutes. if they’re browning too quickly cover them with some tinfoil

Step 10

Enjoy these beautiful warm, soft and moist bite pieces of joy! Chef Jeeny Maltese.
